"Friendly & responsive staff, strong Aloha spirit. However, the place is dated, ie still popcorn ceilings. Need pest control (roaches), asked us to take shoes off but floor carpet felt uncomfortably moist, couldn’t really decide the cleanness of carpet due to color, bathroom smells odd, slippery bathtub, low shower pressure. The room itself needs air freshener. No beach towels, they supply only bath towels 1/person no extras. You have to exchange if you want new ones. Low quality paper towels,...

"This lovely condo looked as though it was recently and very nice compared to one we had rented for a night at Banyan Harbor the week before. Contemporary, very clean and thoughtfully furnished. I would not recommend sleeping on the pull out couch to trundle however, as it is very firm. There was a comfortable recliner so I slept in that. A blow dryer in the bathroom would be a good addition. But we very much appreciated this lovely condo. The owners have done a really great job with it. "

"The staff and property are amazing, but the location ended up being the best part. Kauai is beautiful everywhere, but the north shore area around HCR really takes the cake! Great, quiet beaches and a variety of things to do close by (but HCR is also far enough away that you don't feel like you're in a heavy tourism area). The shuttle service makes getting around easy but the staff also has good local knowledge/tips if you want to drive yourself. Don't think we'll stay anywhere else on Kauai now...

What is the difference between a 4-star and 3-star hotel in Kauai?
The principal difference between a 3- and 4-star hotel in Kauai will be the quality of service and access to creature comforts. Three-star hotels are generally more affordable and come with the amenities and services required to be comfortable, such as breakfast, WiFi and a gym. You can look forward to a little more at a 4-star hotel — think upscale décor, luxury toiletries and extra touches like spa centers.
